Abstract
This study was conducted in sawmills in Eunápolis, Bahia, in order to survey the work ability of employees of sawmills. To evaluate the profile of workers a questionnaire was designed as an interview. To evaluate the ability to work, we used an adapted version for use in Brazil of the work ability index, a questionnaire that evaluates the ability to work from the worker's own perception. The population studied comprised four sawmills, a total of 32 workers. It was observed that employees were entirely male, mean age 31 years and time function of 7.8 years. The evaluation of the ability to work, the ICT average showed value of (37). The minimum values was of 23 and maximum value was 46. It was possible to observe a statistical difference in the Tukey test at 5% of the samples when stratified by age, revealing a decline of ICT in increasing order of age. Among the measures recommended for the study is the support of maintaining the index, through interference in management aimed at not only increasing the productive capacity of the employees but also the quality of life.
Keywords: Ergonomics; occupational health; Index capacity for the work.
